HOUSEHOLD HINTS
To make glue that has dried up liquid again, add hot vinegar. Remove ink-stains from your hands with tomato juice. To prevent wire mattresses from rusting, apply flour polish with a brush or give the spring a coat of white or cream, paint. To keep tobacco from becoming dry, place a small piece of raw potato in the tin or jar in which the tobacco is kept. Rub fish knives and forks or any fishy dish after washing them with the inside of a lemon rind. This will remove any trace of smell. You can make putty for odd jobs by crushing a handful of whitening and mixing to the proper consistency with olive oil.
